US-Zwischenwahl: Klingbeil zu Midterms – „Jetzt sollten wir was draus machen“

Berlin. Following the recent midterms, SPD leader Lars Klingbeil extended congratulations to the Democratic Party and simultaneously urged them for close collaboration. Klingbeil connected the election results with the desire for "things to change and become better" stating during an SPD-Wirtschaftsforum in Berlin, "Now let's make use of this."

He called for discussions with the Democrats and "reasonable forces" on the Republican side about achieving trade policies without tariff burdens, ending the conflict in Iran, restoring energy security, and protecting Ukraine. Klingbeil emphasized, "This is a task we should undertake jointly as transatlantic forces, and that is what I also wish for the women and men of the Democratic Party in the United States now."

He added, "Our hand is outstretched and it always will be." Furthermore, he mentioned that "we will hold these criminals accountable," which might change after the midterms.
